Mail Order Croissants - CONVERTED

Someone sent me the Williams Sonoma version as an Easter gift (yes, an Easter gift) and I feel more connected with this person than ever. My go-to gift now for people I really want to spoil. An experience whenever you have the foresight to lay them out the night before.

I ordered some of these and we loved them. However, be careful how you store them in the freezer. After about a month or two, the few that were left in the box did not rise when I set them out overnight. I was so unhappy having to throw them away!

I had the same trouble with my croissants not rising overnight on Easter after they had been in the freezer since Christmas (I know, I know, don't ask how I made them last that long!). In the morning I set them on top of the stovetop burner that vents the oven below while the oven was pre-heating and they perked right up and were definitely salvageable. Overall the William Sonoma chocolate croissants are so good I don't think I'll ever bother trying to make them myself!
